Lordi has got 12 points from Poland and please remember the Russians have got 10 points from us (they always claim we don't like them) ;)

[Eddy]

The Eurovision is sooooooo useless, and i'm not saying that because France just had 2 points

What the f...

[Huhtis]

This is something i´ve always wanted to say.

Eurovision sucks

[Moledet]

I just wanted to point out that France was antisemitic and gave us only 4 points.

[Eddy]

That made me laugh hard thanks great one ; O )

[eucalyptus]

I thought Bosnia was going to win, but what a shame :(

I don't like the music of Lordi, but Finnland participates for 40 years. Now it won first time. Is it so hard to be pleased for Finnland?

And since when has anyone won Eurovision because their song was considered best?!! It's at least 70% political bull****, and the rest is some sort of timewarp of Euro-pop ****e with precisely zero relevance to the real-world music scene.

[Crassus]

Better song from Lordi:

Lordi is a corny relic from the 80's and kind of sucks monkey balls, but that's the whole point. Now nobody can take that cheesy contest seriously.

292 points - the highest score ever... lol.

Haha. I have to say, I've never had the guts to watch Eurovision. It's a miserable piece of laughable crap contest to start with. But Lordi.. yeah, from their first song I've laughed at them. And them, in Eurovision? I had to make an exception and watch their sh1te and the scorecount.. Ahhaha.

And all of you who think Lordi shouldn't have won..

What in the hell are you smoking?!


I'm glad they won! I was listening to an interview with the head honcho of the band (center in the picture above of course) and he seemed really excited to be in the contest cause it's a contest full of conforming pop singers. And he wanted to break the barriers and change that. I'm just glad the under-dogs won. That and i love their music.

Well done Lordi! Love those Spinal Tap-esque lyrics "the rock's about to roll", "rockalypse" etc. Would have liked to have heard it in Suomi though- cool sounding language.

[2Sheds_Jackson]

Good Christ - we've had GWAR since the '80s, but at least we didn't give them any awards.

[joka]

The president of Finland, Conan O'Halonen has given an order to execute Lordi as soon as their plane lands in Helsinki for embarrassing Finland all over Europe. p-)

We are ready. It should be great game.

[tkks]

Lordi might not be the greatest hard-rock band in the world, but why I respect them winning the competion is, that they were the only real band on the stage. And a band that has even sold an album or two. To me it's not that important that they are Finnish.

I just still hate that crappy competion, which has nearly nothing to do with music. Only groups of crappy singers and dancers, who sing crappy songs written only for that crappy contest.

Lordi was probably also the only band that can write and actually also play real music. Despite Lordi being a bit popish metal-band, still music won this time.

[tkks]

We are ready. It should be great game.
Please, win that match!!

[Dinivan]

It's truly been the best eurovision I've seen :) liked very much the english, swedish, german, danish, bosnian, armenian, russian... well all the songs except the spanish, which in my opinion was pure garbage

Eurovision's frights and delights
By Caroline Briggs
BBC News in Athens

Finnish "horror rock" band grabbed the points and the headlines at the Eurovision Song Contest - but there were plenty of other weird and wonderful moments in the Greek capital.

Lordi came. They rocked. They conquered.

It was a refreshing change for a contest more used to rewarding catchy pop songs and power ballads with douze points.

Greece's Anna Vissi
Greece's Anna Vissi went down well with the home crowd
Lordi's theatrical display and Halloween personas helped make Eurovision 2006 one of the most memorable in years.

More than 18,000 Eurovision fans had filled the Olympic arena to capacity, waving their flags in anticipation of a flamboyant night.

But patriotic leanings were largely put aside when the music started and everyone was just as happy to cheer songs from other countries.

Greece's Anna Vissi was naturally a huge hit with the home crowd, who whooped and hollered before she even opened her mouth.

In their eyes she was a winner.

Another big crowd-pleaser was Romania's Tornero, whose high-octane show was rewarded with the most audience participation during the chorus.

Romania's Tornero
Romania's Tornero got the audience going
Lithuania's We Are The Winners was less of a song and more of an energetic party political broadcast, and drew boos from some quarters.

Germany's Texas Lightning got the crowd clapping along to their country-style song No No Never.

Their fans had pulled out the stops by accessorising themselves with cowboy hats, while Daz Sampson's supporters donned school ties and badges in support of their man.

Latvia's seventh member of the band - a metallic puppet - was one of the night's stranger on-stage moments.

The half-woman-half-piano who appeared during Russia's Never Going To Let You Go gave the performance a surreal quality.

Germany's Texas Lightning
Fans of Germany's Texas Lightning dressed in country garb
The outfits, or in Moldova's case lack of them, was another talking point.

Israel, Latvia, Norway, Bosnia and France showed white was the new black, while Croatia's Severina had a Bucks Fizz moment when she lost her skirt.

But it was Lordi who stole the costume crown.

Eurovision has never seen anything like it as they strode on the stage looking like extras from a horror B-movie.

But they were greeted with chants of "Lordi, Lordi" and they rewarded their fans with a spectacular performance, complete with a co-ordinated pyrotechnic display.

They set the stage for a lively second half of the contest, which also saw Croatia and Sweden bring the house down.

Slicker end

By the time Turkey brought the show to a close, the crowd was ready to find out who would triumph.

This year was the first outing for a new voting system, which had caused mutterings among some journalists.

They were concerned that it would it was take away some of the tension at the end of the contest, but their fears proved largely unfounded.

The result was a slicker, less of a bumbling end to Eurovision.

But arguably it did take away a little of the contest's enduring charm.

I think once we scored ZERO points. :)
